The Kingdom of Solomon

The Kingdom of Solomon is an Iranian religioushistorical film trilogy, produced by Mojtaba Faravardeh and directed by Shahriar Bahrani who has made Saint Mary before. The Kingdom of Solomon was going to be released internationally on November 2010 after its screening in Iran, but due to some technicalities its global release has been delayed. The film tells the life story of Prophet Solomon, the King of Israelites. It is mostly based on the Islamic accounts of Solomons prophetic life extracted from the Quran but it also draws upon parallels found in some Jewish texts.

Solomon, the prophet and king of Judah, asks God to grant him an ideal kingdom and a promised paradise not to be given to anyone until the end of the world. For this to be fulfilled, he should face the world of the devils jinns and demons, their materialization, and an imminent and cruel war with them. Filled with disbelief and blasphemy, the heads of the different tribes of the Israelites reject his calls for help. When disaster strikes and the people get demonic and lunatic, barely can Solomon control the crisis. But as soon as the creatures take material form, he prays for Gods help and favour to overcome their onslaught. So God helps him and the devils get scared of Prophet Solomon.Filming of this past has not begun yet but its production and casting is under review Solomon is announced by God in the Quran to have control over various elements, such as winds, to use them for different purposes including transportation. He travels to several territories and builds towers and monuments using the power of jinns. He also sets up a crystal palace in Jerusalem alQuds. Then he meets the Queen of Sheba and, according to Islamic texts, introduces her into Islam submission to God. ........
